Just to comment on Black Fencer's accuracy to the originals, I have a collector friend with several 1803 Pattern Flank Officer's Sabres and one of them has a blade absolutly identical to my Black Fencer 1803 in both length, width and curvature. Weight is within 20g and point of balance within 1cm. Absolutely amazed when I compared them.
I was concerned about the longevity of the BF steel gen edges but good to know that the blade is still usable after several years of sparring. Thanks for the review!
@danielnunez7424 with unmodified old type reddragons I would have to say no. That said I did use them for a long time. But also had a finger broken. I would recommend Thokk gloves for any steel sabre sparring.
@@sarimnerhistoricaleuropean5242 Thanks I just bought an authentic 1840 Heavy Cavalry Sabre. (Antique) It’s called the Wrist Breaker, because it’s so heavy. I wonder how difficult it would be to custom make a HEMA safe replica?
@@robertvondarth1730 we have tried some sparring with nylon 1796. And even if on the light side, they do hit like a freight train at times. And thats just nylon. Black fencer has a steel sparring version of the 1796. Just sayinging going full tilt you might break something or.. someone. 🙃

Thanks.
Didn't even know these existed, thanks for sharing!
would these be okay to use with red dragon gloves or HF Firestone 2? as far as protection goes

You had the bigger one custom made?
Yes also. It's after a danish officers sabre.
